To me, it looks like the shooter made 3 distinct errors.

1) A shooter action: Going to wrong shooting position first, (not following course description.)
5.1.1.1 A shooter fails to follow the procedures set forth in the stage description.

2) A shooter action: Not slicing the pie at P3.
3.2 Targets must be engaged in tactical priority unless tactical sequence is specified in the stage description. This includes all targets engaged “in the open.”


3) A shooter action: Did not fire the correct number of rounds at T4.
4.1.1 Unlimited Scoring allows the shooter to shoot at each target as much as deemed necessary, as long as this does not violate other IDPA rules. The best hits on a target are used for score. This gives the shooter the option to make up misses or hits that they are not satisfied with, to improve their score. When the shooter does not fire enough rounds at a target, the unfired rounds are counted as misses and a Procedural Error penalty is assessed for not following the CoF description.

Finally,
2.4.4.4 If the SO has a reasonable doubt, the benefit of the doubt goes to the shooter.

So to me, the four and five PE answers do not do this.
Your assessment looks as if #1 and #3 are the same infraction, not following the CoF description, which can only be a single PE.
I could be talked into 3 PE using fail to follow CoF, fail to follow tac priority and a cover call.
